Events in 2025

A congress and exhibition that brings together experts, innovators, and decision-makers from across the Benelux region to discuss sustainable surface treatments, material technologies, and industrial challenges aligned with the EU’s 2030 and 2050 climate goals. Highlights how energy efficiency, renewable energy, circular economy principles, and regulatory compliance are reshaping industrial strategies, and emphasizes the need for industry-wide collaboration to implement future-proof, corrosion-resistant, sustainable solutions.

First talk dispels common corrosion misconceptions with case studies; second explores advances in protecting galvanised steel and cut-edge corrosion. Emphasizes evidence-based practice and modern coating technologies.

Practical expertise on high-performance protective coatings for challenging environments, covering corrosion, insulation, tank lining, and passive fire protection. Includes specialist talks and networking.

Tracks cover asset management, circular economy, Industry 4.0, safety, energy transition, AI, workforce & certification.

Renewal training aligned with AS/NZS 4680:2025, covering inspection practice, compliance, and evaluation of galvanized steel.

This is the largest event in Portugal focused on Metal Construction, which will this year feature the 1st Congress on Façade Engineering. Highlights include trends in the design and construction processes of metal and composite bridges, the extensive use of steel in modern architectural structures, innovative façades that address current environmental and energy conditions, and exploring the advantages, strategies, and best practices in light steel framing construction.

Promotes knowledge sharing and technological transfer for safer, more efficient hydrocarbon operations. Covers corrosion prevention, repair, rehabilitation, and integrity management to extend asset life.

Intensive renewal course for AS/NZS 4680:2025. Advanced skills to inspect and evaluate galvanized steel to current Australian, New Zealand and international standards.

Under the theme “Smart Solutions: The Future of Asset Integrity,” the event explores process‑safety management, pipeline corrosion, coatings failure analysis, additive manufacturing, AI, IoT and VR for corrosion mitigation. Features workshops and an international exhibition.

Promotes sustainable engineering solutions and innovations. Covers sustainable materials, metallurgical processes, and clean technologies that improve infrastructure durability and material protection.

Certified high-level training aligned with international standards, covering Fitness-for-Service, Remaining Life Assessment and Repair.

Advanced training in inspection techniques for steel and non-steel substrates. Focus on coating types, preparation methods, specialized applications, and quality control under supervision of senior inspectors.

Certification course covering cathodic protection system design, installation, and maintenance. Includes theory, design calculations, and field applications to ensure asset integrity and corrosion mitigation.

Trains professionals to ensure industrial asset integrity by understanding corrosion mechanisms, coating application, inspection, and defect management. Includes case studies and standards for quality control.
